   The food was not good, the service was slow even though it was not busy, and during the Christmas market, the entrance was fully blocked. My boyfriend and I went because it’s on the Michelin guide and it had great reviews but were extremely disappointed.

   The beginning of my groups experience at Madrina Bar y Tapas had a glitch (which was our reservation mistake), we had 1 extra person in our party and the restaurant was full to capacity (first weekend of Winter Village, Taylor Swift was in town and the Leafs had a home game) so fire regulations restricted their ability to add a chair to the table and after seeing their stunning interior, I absolutely agree that a chair was not an option! The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us, and allowed the smaller group to sit and have cocktails while waiting for a larger table to become available. The patio bar staff were exceptionally compassionate and the table service was remarkably. Of the 19 or 20 dishes that were ordered, we found that there were a couple that lack lustre. The TORTILLA DE PATATAS were under cooked, the outer edges were to perfection, the interiors were too moist making it quite a mushy texture, neither one was eaten fully. We found the PA AMB TOMÀQUET to be on the bland side, our personal preferences are for strong flavours which we found in all the other dishes offered. The cocktails were incredible and the ambiance of the restaurant is spectacular.

   Great cocktails and atmosphere, but the food wasn't something to write home about. I had high expectations but found the restaurant to not be worth the hype.

   Everything was delicious! Our Turkish delight server Altays recommendations were on point. We had the lobster, shrimp croquettas, oysters and some amazing cocktails made by Marianne. This place is a must if you’re in the distillery district or plan to go there! Five stars everytime!

   We had a great evening at the Marina. The food was really good and the service, exceptional. We really enjoyed the egg yolks with truffle, bone marrow with beef tartar and truffle manchego cheese. The cocktails were good and looking amazing. The service from the person taking care of the cocktail and wine was especially great. The staff also gladly accommodated one of our party member who is lactose intolerant. We wish there would have been a greater selection of wime bottles for less than 100$. Lastly, the ambiance was great. We would love to come back soon!
